Hey Dogs , I had an idea for a Give-away .
What I wanted to do is make a knife - from someone else's , (the winners) , design .
By that I mean I am willing to do all the heavy lifting - grinding and drilling . Leaving the winner with the task of finishing - hand sanding the blade and applying the handles .
That being said , it makes no sense to open it up to all , only to those who have NO grinder . Hence the Dream Knife title .
I'm making this a preposting so you guys can give me some feedback .
This is what I have thought of so far ....
- A blade ground and drilled to winners design using what I have on hand
- Open to Anyone without a grinder (honor system please) no makers
- Winner MUST agree to finish Knife
- Winner MUST agree to a photo filled WIP posting
- Heat Treat and handle not included
Any of this can be open and subject to change due to the fact that I know I haven't thought of everything...
The knife design will also have to be flat ground , as that is all I do , not hollow. I was thinking of a limit of 12" long and 1 1/2 wide . I only have some 1 1/2" bars on me right now .. Also no guards or bolsters .. Plus the winner must know I do this spare-time . After work and family ... This is a medium length project and should take some time to finish between 2 people ..
I must reserve the right to make other limitations ... again I haven't thought of everything ..
I'd also like some Mods and Admins to chime in with some advice as how to make this go smooth........
Thanks ,Bill
